....AND UNDER AN HOUR INTO THE LOVE PARADE, I TURNED AROUND AND REALIZED THAT I WAS LOST IN A SEA OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
|
KNEEL BROTHAS AND SISTAS TO THE GODS OF TECHNO AND SEMI TRUCK MODIFICATION. PICTURE A NORMAL BORING THREE MILE ELIPSE OF DEUTCH STREET IN THE HEART OF GERMANY. NOW TAKE THREE HITS OF ACID AND CHASE IT DOWN WITH FOUR GIGANTI-MEGAMUGS OF BIER FROM THE LOCAL BRAUHAUSE, TOSS IN ABOUT TWO MILLION STRANGELY CLAD SLEEP DEPRIVED, PILL POPPIN, ELECTRONICA DIGGING, DEUTCH EFFICIENT PARTY MACHINES, PACK THEM LIKE SARDINES IN TRAINS HEADED STRAIGHT TO BERLIN, OPEN THE DOORS, HIDE YOUR CHILDREN AND LET LOOSE THE CRAZIEST BAND OF RAVINOUS PARTY ANIMALS THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN....AND GO AHEAD AND DO IT ONCE A YEAR. LINE THE STREETS WITH TRASH, AND SEND GIANT CONVERTED SEMI TRUCKS STACKED WITH AMPS, SPEAKERS, A WORLD CLASS DJ, AND A FEW NAKED FRAUS TO DRIVE AT FOUR MILES AN HOUR AROUND THE FOREMENTIONED THREE MILE ELIPSE, AND STILL YOU COULDN'T EVEN GLIMPSE INTO THE DIALATED EYES OF THE CHAOS UNLEASHED ONTO THE STREETS OF BERLIN FOR ONE FORLORN WEEKEND OF PARTYING THAT LEAVES IT'S LOCALS EACH AND EVERY YEAR WONDERING WHY THEY LIVE IN BERLIN. I HAVE TO HAND IT TO THE GERMANS, THAT AS SOON AS THE PARTY BROKE, AN ARMY OF JANITORS ARMED TO THE TEETH WITH BROOMS,BUCKETS, AND BAGS DECENDED ONTO THE SCENE AND QUIETLY, WITHOUT FUSS, LITERALLY STERILIZED THE PUTRID STREETS WITHIN A MATTER OF MERE MINUTES. GERMAN EFFICIENCY IS INDEED, NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY.

Favourite spots: |
I WAS MY FAVORITE SPOT. AROUND EVERY SWEATY BODY LURKED THE PROMISE OF ANOTHER SPONTANIOUS ADVENTURE.
|
|
What's really great: |
THE JANITORS, AND THEIR EFFICIENCY. OH AND THE BEER!

|
Sights: |
MEN DRESSED LIKE FLOURESCENT DIED WOLLY MAMMOTHS, WOMEN DRESSED IN BODY PAINTED SWIMSUITS. TWO MILLION PEOPLE ENJOYING THEMSELVES IN A HORRIBLY CROWDED SPACE, PEACEFULLY.

THE CAPITAL LETTERS HURT MY EYES AND EARS, LIKE SOMEONE IS SHOUTING AT US!. Otherwise a great tip for one of the worlds BIGGEST parties. Pictures would enhance the report. |
